Those who suffered death in England for the Catholic Faith and for the primacy of the Roman Pontiff, from 1535 to 1681 . The total number of them is over 600; of these, fifty-four were beatified in 1888 and nine more in 1895 ; 247 others had their cause of beatification introduced in 1886 , and were declared Venerable; the remainder (about 286), though they all died heroically, led such retired and obscure lives that there is very little known about them, which fact has hindered even the introduction of their cause. The following is a complete alphabetical list of all the English Martyrs, under their last names. Those who have been beatified , canonized , or declared venerable have separate articles. In a few cases nothing is known of the martyr except his name. <\/p>\n
